The change commentary on the bbc sports website is being made to help britain right now. Achieve virtually zero carbon therell be nojurgen klopp on the liverpool bench tonight emissions by the middle for their fa cup replay of the century. At home to shrewsbury. The government there wont be any first teamers had said the sale of new petrol and diesel cars would be banned for that matter as theyre sticking from 2040 but today instead, neil critchleys under 23s that changed to 2035. The new target will have to get past the league will also include hybrid cars one side at anfield. Shrewsbury came from 2 0 down but the aa has described the ban to earn the replay and whilst klopp as incredibly challenging, wont physically be there, expressing doubts that there will be his influence will still be felt enough electric vehicles available. Todays announcement is at risk according to critchley. Of being overshadowed by a growing he gives us unbelievable support. Row between the Prime Minister and the former minister, so, i can speak to him whenever Claire Oneill. I like when i am down here. Shes been sacked from her role as president of cop26, he supports the Young Players and has written a damning letter unbelievably well, as he has shown criticising the governments climate approach. So far this season. Well, in the last few minutes the Prime Minister his presence, even if he isnt and David Attenborough have been there, his presence is always felt by our younger speaking about their plans. Players and by me myself. We have to deal with our c02 emissions, and that is why the uk is rangers manager Steven Gerrard says the abuse that striker calling for us to get on to net to alfredo morelos has been receiving zero as soon as possible. For every is proof that scottish football has morelos says hes experienced racial abuse both on and off the pitch during his two and a half years with rangers, country to announce credible targets and hes been linked with moves away to get there, thats what we want from ibrox recently. From glasgow, and thats why we are pledged here in the uk to deliver gerrard says hell always give him his full support and he hopes the racism isnt net zero by 2050, and we are the a factor when he decides first major economy to make that on his future. Commitment. I believe it is the right thing to do. Its quite proper scotland defence coach steve tandy says fly half that we should. It is now up to us finn russell and head coach Gregor Townsend are now talking but theres no date set to put before the nations of the for his return to the side. World what has to be done. We dont russell is still paying the price for missing training after a drinking session. Need to emphasise to them or to you that the longer we leave it and not hes been left out of their six nations squad for a second week, doing things, going on and talking so he wont be facing england in the calcutta cup at murrayfield about the problems, the worse it is going to get, and in the end, unless on saturday, after missing the defeat to ireland at the weekend. For scotland, the focus we do something, it becomes in solvable. So now is the moment. Now is on togetherness. Through this period we have been after cohesion, and doing as many glasgow becomes extremely important. Training sessions as we can. The Sir David Attenborough and boris boys have really responded. It is johnson are making the more about what is happening now. Announcements. Lets talk to our deputy Political Editor norman smith greg is having dialogue. Do you whos in westminster for us. How significant is that . Expect centre play any part in the six nations . I have no idea. That is it is certainly significant, and there were high hopes that this as much as i know. As a defence Climate Conference in november. Coach, i have enough to deal with. Getting a defence up and running. I politically, it was meant as a believe that to the boss. Moment when britain established a after her third round exit leadership role on the global stage. At the australian open, Serena Williams coach has admitted leading the way on Climate Change that she has to change her game to return to the top of tennis. And it is seen as a key moment post the american has lost her last four grand slam finals since giving brexit, only now though, it is birth to her daughter. Involved in a major row, question shes just one away from margaret courts all time marks over whether this conference can go ahead and any sort of record but Patrick Mouratoglou says something isnt quite working. Successful way because weve heard we have to understand what is going on and why she is not able to win one. From Claire Oneill, the woman who was sacked, the former tory minister there is a big difference who was sacked, who was sacked from between reaching a final and winning one, running the summit, and she says it and maybe change a few things in her strategy. We have to accept the fact that it is questionable whether it will happen in glasgow or whether it will is not working since she is back. Be relocated to england. She again, maybe come back with a different angle and a different suggests that there is infighting strategy and different going on between government ministers. There is questions over the amount of funding for the goals so she can make it. Project, but in particular she attacks Boris Johnson for the lack he was speaking tojohn watson. Of leadership and engagement in the summit, suggesting that he is not england moves on to 42 without loss really interested in Climate Change, at the tories and cricket. And that he had told he doesnt get the government has been warned it it. This matters because, post faces a legal battle if it brexit, we want to set out a tries to end the automatic Early Release of terror offenders. Confident, positive image to the the move follows the attack in south rest of the world. Hard to do that london on sunday when sudesh amman when this summit seems to be frankly stabbed two people ten days after hed so shambolic. This morning, after been released early. In november, another convicted terrorist killed two borisjohnson had people after being freed. So shambolic. This morning, after Boris Johnson had made so shambolic. This morning, after borisjohnson had made his introductory remarks, he was challenged over why he had sacked lets speak to our legal Claire Oneill. This is what his reply was. Prime minister, why did correspondent, clive coleman. They are desperately looking at how you sacked Claire Oneill . When are to stop Something Like this happening again. Just to go over you sacked Claire Oneill . When are you going to name her successor . No again the context of it, because obviously it is very important. Sudesh amman was released early. There are concerns about what you real a nswers might do, hence why he was under you going to name her successor . No real answers from mrjohnson there. My real answers from mrjohnson there. My understanding is that some felt very tight surveillance. But there was nothing to stop him being Claire Oneill liked their released at that point. Anyone who management skills to really make a success of the summit. It was is sentenced in court by a judge, pointed out to me that it was in a there is a statutory obligation by there is a statutory obligation by thejudge to explain very bad state of affairs, but she there is a statutory obligation by the judge to explain to that person what sentence they are passing and was the person running it, and that how it will work. He will have had to some extent was proof that she failed to get a grip of it. Be that it explained and quoted by a judge that he was being given a fixed as it may, this is no doubt that term, that is for a fixed period of this is destabilising at a time when the Prime Minister wants attention time, that it would be subject to to be focused on the new target for automatic Early Release, so he would serve half of that in prison, be getting rid of petrol and diesel released automatically and serve the cars, and for britain to be carbon remaining half of that sentence on neutral. Her remarks, though, will licence in the community. That raises a legitimate expectation in raise serious concerns. They also the person who has being sentence echo some of the criticism weve that that is the sentence that they are going to receive, and indeed, heard from other opponents of boris many people will plead guilty on the johnson who question whether he can actually be trusted. Claire oneill basis that that was the sentence this morning saying that if you they were going to be given. So there are legal arguments that if receive a promise from boris you change the release date to the johnson, make sure youve got it in writing. Get a lawyer to check it. Lets have a listen to what else she two thirds stage, that is said. Effectively a more Severe Service i spent the last couple of years and the person had a legitimate building in britain, building a expectation of being released process and an action plan, and automatically at the halfway stage. Weve seen a huge lack of leadership and engagement. What we need to do so the register met expectation has with this cop is absolutely doubled been tampered with. Theyre also on great leadership and ambitions in human rights challenges that can be brought. Several of the human rights the space and energising the world as to why this is a huge rules that says you cannot serve a opportunity, and today, thats been sentence more severe than the one quite a lonely place to come. The you are given at the time that the Prime Minister has made incredibly judge passed it in court. Article warm statements about this over the yea rs. Warm statements about this over the years. He has admitted to me that he six, the right to a fair trial, doesnt understand it,. Suggestion that that would be years. He has admitted to me that he doesnt understand it,. He said that to you . You said many things interfered with. So the government over the years, and as i said in my could presumably, any relatively straightforward fashion, change it letter. He said he doesnt going forward, but it is direct understand Climate Change . He respective issue that is the doesnt really get it. But there are problem, and there are people coming up problem, and there are people coming upfor problem, and there are people coming others around him that do. Up for release that the government wa nts to up for release that the government wants to try to change the situation . The critical question is it looks a bit of a mess. People are would it be effective anyway . The confident that it will go ahead and difference between release at the bea confident that it will go ahead and halfway stage and the release at the be a success. They need to appoint a minister to take charge of the two thirds stage. The additional summit. That announcement will be pa rt summit. That announcement will be part of the reshuffle expected next week. The scottish government, months, provides a protection for the public, but perhaps not changing Nicola Sturgeon tweeting that she is doing everything she can to make a intent in that time. If you have the success of the conference. Youve got some of the key environmental pa role intent in that time. If you have the parole board, as is proposed, assessing the person at the two groups are deeply anxious this morning. We heard from greenpeace thirds point and if they make an earlier saying that they think boris assessment that they still pose a johnson needs to step in and get a risk and so should serve a full grip of the summit. Sentence, that remaining third of thank you very much. The sentence could also be a matter of months. There is a real question joining me now is edmund king, is whether that would be a stopgap the president of the aa. Or whether it would provide real, bringing forward the target of genuine protection for the public. Banning the sale of debt petrol and seniorfigures that i diesel cars to 20 35. What do you genuine protection for the public. Senior figures that i have genuine protection for the public. Seniorfigures that i have been discussing with this morning say, look, the only way to deal with this think of that . It is challenging for would be to introduce something the industry because it covers new called in determining sentences for ca rs the industry because it covers new cars and vans, and i think vans will be the biggest challenge. For public protection. These were controversial measures brought in by example, at the aa, we have 3000 the Labour Government and they fa ns effectively meant that, they were example, at the aa, we have 3000 fans out there for our patrols, but meant to be for small group of currently, 3000 vans, but we dangerous business, but thousands of dont have electric cars that have them were passed. They meant that a minimum term was proposed at which the towing capacity we need, but 2035 is just 20 years ahead, so a point april board would make a decision as to whether you are a risk. If you remained a risk, you lot will need to be done in order to are kept in prison for a very long get those vehicles to the market, to period. They became the subject to legal challenges and were scrapped make them affordable to consumers. Injust make them affordable to consumers. In just 15 make them affordable to consumers. In 2012, because they were regarded injust 15 years. Do make them affordable to consumers. In just 15 years. Do you think that as de facto life sentences, has been considered . Because that is sometimes for people who committed a big issue. It is a big issue. There are two areas that havent relatively minor sentences. One man been considered in enough detail, set fire to a willie ben and was and one of them is the question given this type of sentence. It is a around vans, because that market has really complex problem. One way to deal with it might be something been slower to develop than cars. With cars at the moment, there are to introduce something along the about 16 plug in models on the lines of that, but some people think they were scrapped for a very good market, with more to come this year, reason. Some people think this has so more progress, but its not the same for vans. The other area that been a very clear example of where is perhaps mistaken is that the ban rehabilitation failed. Is there a in 2035 will also include plug in hybrid cars. Yet, there has been a sense that this just is not working lot of research in hybrids, a lot of across the board . Investment, and for many people, the sense that this just is not working acrosstheboard . It depends how plug in hybrid is a good stepping much time, effort, resources are put stone to electric vehicles. You get into this. One of the interesting used to plugging it in at night and for most of yourjourneys, around aspects if you change automatic Early Release to two thirds and if town or in urban areas, there can be the parole board keep someone in for zero emission because they can be the parole board keep someone in for pure electric, so i think that the entire sentence, what you actually saying hybrids will be extinguish or reduce is the licence banned as well is perhaps a mistake period with the release from prison because industry are investing a lot where they are supervised on licence. That also carries a danger in state of the art hybrids that can because that could be a very be very clean. Do you think this target is achievable . Critical period in ensuring that be very clean. Do you think this target is achievable . |j be very clean. Do you think this target is achievable . I think it is someone returns to the community. Challenging. If you look last year, critical period in ensuring that someone returns to the communitym i think it was Something Like 1. 6 was critical in this, obviously, of all new car sales where battery because he obviously did mount and attack. The monitoring meant he was electric, so weve got to go from stopped very quickly. He was 1. 6 to 100 , either electric or monitored by the Security Services indeed zero emission. Things like and the police. Any normal case, there will be conditions attached to Hydrogen Fuel cells. Itll be a challenge on the supply side, but your licence. He was under some of also it is quite a challenge to our those conditions. What im saying is if you make someone serve the whole lifestyles to getting the charging of their sentence, they are not infrastructure up and running. Necessarily released on licence. And particularly in urban areas where that carries its own dangers. People live in flats or terraced houses. That is still quite a at least 20 ex jehovahs witnesses are suing the organisation over historical sexual abuse by senior challenge. There is a long way to figures in the religion. The Victoria Derbyshire programme 90, challenge. There is a long way to go, and actually, in terms of has spoken to two women who say they were abused one from the age of eight. Manufacturing and getting infrastructure, 15 years isnt that a former elder who served in the organisation for 55 years has long, so very challenging but said for the first time that he too probably could be achievable. Was sexually abused as a boy. The survivors told us victims of rogue breast surgeon a two witness rule ian paterson have been set by the main governing body gathering in birmingham ahead of the publication of of the religion meant there had to be two witnesses to any sin, an independent report in order for elders to take action. Into his practices. Clairejones has this exclusive paterson who worked film, which contains at nhs and private some strong language. Hospitals in the midlands exaggerated or invented cancer risks, and left many the jehovahs witnesses, a religious group that asks patients disfigured. Believers to faithfully follow he was jailed for 20 years in 2017. John maguire reports. The teachings of the bible. When ian paterson was jailed in 2017 but now, weve learned that at least for carrying out hundreds of cases 20 former memebers who were sexually of unnecessary breast surgery, abused as children by members of the church are suing the trialjudge said he had the organisation. The jehovahs witnesses deliberately prayed on his organisation uses the bible patients worst fears. As the basis for its teachings. Working at both nhs and private hospitals in the West Midlands, each group meet in whats called a kingdom hall, he treated thousands of patients. And thats made up of elders, ministerial servants in many cases, he would encourage people to undergo surgery and then ordinary members more than once, knowing that what he was doing of the congregation. Was totally unwarranted. I was sexually abused while i was a jehovahs witness thats something that from the ages of around 8 to 12. Will never, ever go away. It is notjust the physical scars that wont go away, its the mental scars as well. They will never go. I think some of the times people emma, not her real name, eventually will look and think, oh, well, its done now, confided in herfriend. But it isnt for us. The situation that the psychological i was put in was to help this man make tea for everybody implication is never ending. After the bible study. For the many hundreds so he would use that opportunity if not thousands affected while everybody else was in the next by patersons malpractice, room to touch everywhere todays report will be that he wasnt supposed to touch, expected to shine a light, and my parents would be in the next room. Notjust on what he did, some believe the church both in the nhs and private sector, has protected the perpetrators. But also on how the system could allow him to get away with it john viney was an elder in the jehovahs witnesses for 55 years. On such a scale and for so long. There are jehovahs witnesses, john maguire, bbc news. Active jehovahs witnesses, that abused children. There are parents that havent done anything about the abuse of their children. Linda millband is the National Practice lead for clinical negligence at thompson solictors. They put being a jehovahs witness she has supported a number before doing the right thing of patersons victims and reporting child abuse. With legal claims. Overall, the company helped 650 patients. Thank you forjoining us. As we sarah champion, mp and chair of the Parliamentary Committee looking at adult survivors of sexual await the findings of the report, abuse, has met with Senior Leaders what are your hopes on what it might from thejehovahs witnesses, but is not convinced they are safeguarding children. Say . Will obviously, its very i would like the organisation to acknowledge. Important because so many patients if they wont go so far did suffer so much, and those scars to acknowledge the abuse that are still with them today, so i went on, to acknowledge would really like them to get some that their systems allow abusers to flourish, justice from this. The most and that they will do everything in their power to protect important feature for me as a lawyer vulnerable children, is to make sure that all private vulnerable adults. And that is exactly why the Charity Commission needs to be getting involved, because these hospitals have adequate insurance to establishments, these congregations have a duty of care. Coverfor hospitals have adequate insurance to cover for every operation that the Charity Commission has been investigating happens within their operating theatres. Also, that the regulatory the jehovahs witnesses systems to spot breast and other organisation since 2013. A spokeswoman said the enquiry remains ongoing, but would not comment further. Rogue surgeons operating within the a spokesman for the jehovahs private sector are much better. On witnesses said when the matter of insurance, without insurance, victims want to get compensation because its the liability of the individual who parents and victims wont have the funds to cover it. Are informed they have the right to report the matter what are the concerns around to the authorities. During the interview, john unexpectedly insurance . To hospitals not have revealed to me a secret he has been hiding for decades. That insurance as much as you would i have never spoken like . The argument is that all publicly about this before. Between the ages of about nine and 13, a distant Family Member who was an active surgeons are private operators, so jehovahs witness abused me. I use the word buggered because they have to have their own that is exactly what happened. Insurance, but in his case, he had john finally went to the police, over 50 £10 million which was not enough to years later, to report pay the number of people who were injured. Because he was acting as a what happened to him. And do you know how sad i am to have found out that that person went on to abuse other children . Private operator, the insurance was not supposed to cover that, so what would have happened if i had had the thats why the enormous argument was courage and the common sense there prior to settling the case in to have come forward . Clairejones reporting. 2017. Realistically, what would be and if you need advice or support good for everyone is if it could be ensured that all insurance was you can contact the action line covering everything that was done within the private hospital. Where you can hear recorded information lines are open 2a hours a day. Obviously what youre talking about there are wider changes to try to in a moment, well have protect patients going forward. For all the business news, but first, the headlines the patients you have represented, on bbc news. Where are they now . Are their next the Prime Minister sets out plans steps for them . From today, they are to ban the sale of new petrol, diesel, or hybrid cars by the year 2035 as he launches uks Climate Conference strategy. Going to want some sort of system to 00v the inquiry into breast surgeon ian paterson who carried out hundreds of unnecessary operations will be the inquiry into breast improve their regulatory practices surgeon ian paterson who carried out hundreds and also the insurance systems, and of unnecessary operations will be i think they would like those to be published in the 15 minutes brought in as swiftly as possible victims and their families arrive to hear the results. Hashem abedi the brother of the Manchester Arena bomber has gone on trial at the old bailey we are talking about monetary terms in london accused of helping him plan the suicide attack. In terms of compensation for trying to right a wrong. How are those who represent coping with what theyve been through . Obviously, today will been through . Obviously, today will the business news. Bea been through . Obviously, today will be a big day because it will bring back all the problems they have put flying is not the enemy in up back all the problems they have put up with for so many years very the fight against Climate Change according to the chief executive bravely, because theyve had to go of heathrow airport. John holland kaye told the bbc that the answer was not through the criminal trial, then to stop people flying, there was the settlement, and but to decarbonise aviation. The uks Aviation Industry obviously now there is the is promising to reduce its net investigation, and i think each one Carbon Emissions to zero by 2050. Of these events will bring back very youtubes ad sales in the last three months of last year rose unpleasant memories, so i would 31 to £3. 6 billion. Imagine they are all pretty is Parent Company alphabet devastated at this moment. Thank you that also owns google says overall very much forjoining us. We should revenues were up 17 year on year, but that marks the slowest rate in more than two years. Have the details of the enquiry findings from midday. Britains supermarkets struggled to boost sales last month, according to the latest figures from kantar. The headlines on bbc news. Sales rose by 0. 3 across the sector the sale of new petrol, in the three months to january, diesel and hybrid vehicles will be banned from 2035 with the big four all facing as part of the uks effort to tackle Climate Change. Declines. Tesco, sainsbury, asda and morrisons all lost market share. Lets get more on the news that the ban on selling new petrol, it comes as the previous minister diesel or hybrid cars in the uk Claire Oneill attacks the approach. Will be brought forward from 2040 the independent inquiry into breast surgeon ian paterson who carried out hundreds of unnecessary operations to 2035 at the latest, under government plans. Is to be published today. The change comes after experts said 2040 would be too late if the uk wants in the first with england, they are to achieve its target of emitting virtually zero carbon by 2050. Boris johnson will outline 25 without loss of overs which is the policy later at an event to launch a United Nations climate the first in the International Since winning the world cup. The under 23 summit in november. Is will be taking on shrewsbury town in their fa cup replay tonight. Serena williamss coach will be saying that she needs with a different strategy since giving birth to herfirst different strategy since giving birth to her first child. Ill have what does this mean for the industry a full round up after have passed. Overall . It is certainly a welcome move. We all lord the governments direction here. The industry, and i think the consumer, is looking for an answer to these questions. The the brother of the Manchester Arena bomber changing policies and the changing will go on trial today at the old bailey in london. Hashem abedi is charged with 22 counts of murder, senses, removing. And also with attempted murder changing policies and the changing senses, removing. On hybrids in and conspiracy to cause particular has left consumers a explosions. Little uncertain as to what to do. Salman abedi detonated a bomb in the entrance of the arena at the end of an ariana that uncertainty leads to lack of grande concert in 2017. Decision making and lack of our correspondent dan johnson is outside purchases, so evenly need to the old bailey for us dan. Encourage people down the road to a greener choice of vehicle. We need to give them the right message to do it was set out exactly what just that. Many people will happened. He said 22 people were appreciate the need to do it, but if i was going into a garage right now killed that night, 91 seriously to buy a new car, i would have a injured, and another 111 people were dilemma i . The technology around hospitalised. 625 people had reported psychological traumas since electric cars, the charging might then, and the police believed that overall that massive bomb that hit not get me to where i want to go . The Manchester Arena, it affected more than 1000 victims. The prosecution says that although it was the older brother who carried will hybrids do, in our opinion, position themselves as a very the bomb into the arena and sensible step in the right detonating it, the younger brother, direction. They are kind of of the who is now 22, isjust as guilty, agenda right now for many. People the prosecution says, as his who have invested in it will be brother, and he acted in a way that somewhat peeved to see that these intended that whoever deployed the investments have been unrewarded. Advice should do so with an intent to kill, maim and injure as many the right site thinking that already people as possible. The prosecutor today that setting cars on the right has laid out the very start of the case for the jury ones for them. The charging dilemma has laid out the very start of the case for thejury here, has laid out the very start of the case for the jury here, saying that hashem abedi says that he was part that consumers face, i think we see of what was needed to make the bomb, afar that consumers face, i think we see a far greater issue in the price disparity between electric vehicles actually testing out different ways of packing the bomb and making sure and other equivalents. The price gap that it detonated, buying the screws is around 29 on average, a and nails that were packed in there, considerable barrier who want to make the shift to electric vehicles. Designed to cause the mass numbers we believe many car buyers want to of casualties whenever it was detonated. The prosecutor said that dojust we believe many car buyers want to do just that. The he might not have agreed with his brother when that will bomb was to we believe many car buyers want to dojust that. The reality,. We believe many car buyers want to do just that. The reality,. We be detonated or aware, but that he should also think about the knew what was going to happen and infrastructure that goes alongside this. Notjust looking at reducing that he shared the intention that as emissions from cars, but investing many people as possible should be in alternatives. If we think of killed or injured by the bomb. The things like school buses. The school jury killed or injured by the bomb. The jury is now being shown the plans and maps of the arena, how it sits run is hugely polluting. Looking at investing in transport infrastructure that would allow us alongside victoria station. Theyve to reduce our dependency on a calf . Been given 3d animated walk throughs of the space, the area where the we really do need a joined up and bomb was detonated so they can com plete we really do need a joined up and complete strategy along the lines of understand the geography, because theres going to be so much evidence motor transport solutions that are out there. If we look at the in this case. The evidence is inspected to run over a few weeks plethora of new initiatives and announcements that are coming from certain mayors around the uk, all of and a few months. We are just in the them are to be loaded in their own early stages of the prosecution, with him opening the case against rights. They are equally going to the brother. A 39 year old man has died after being infected confuse consumers. They might not by the coronavirus in hong kong, know whether to drive through or the second fatality outside mainland china. The Health Authorities in wuhan, cycle to manchester easily. All of the chinese city at the centre those alternative solutions need to of the outbreak, say more be developed for quicker than they than 420 people have died from the outbreak, with more than 20,000 cases across the country. Currently a re be developed for quicker than they currently are today. Really interesting point. Really earlier this moring, bbc breakfast spoke to muying, interesting point. Really who is in hospital in wuhan waiting interesting point. Really interesting point. In this middle period before the infrastructure is to find out if she has coronavirus. In place to allow us to do what we im feeling a bit short of breath wa nt to in place to allow us to do what we want to do without getting rid of now and im coughing a lot, but except that i dont ca rs. Lots of have a fever which is a good sign, but my dad is more serious than i am, want to do without getting rid of and he got tested the day before cars. Lots of markets searing. Yesterday and got his result back yesterday, and business profits particularly in it was positive, so he was china. Sainsbury is on the board, as transferred to a proper quarantine we said, finding it very hard to hospital yesterday afternoon. Grow their sales. Still up by 1 . They are treating him right now and his alphabet, the Parent Company of oxygen level is, well, google, having a really great dropping, which means hes deteriorating, so session. Bp, one of the biggest im a bit worried. Rises so fire. Much it is not easy to reach out to those doctors because better than expected results for the they are in full suits and are not first quarter. More from us in the taking any phone calls, so the only next hour. Information i am getting is from my calls with my dad, and he is finding british actor Cynthia Erivo says it feels bittersweet to be the only person of colour to be it hard to speak, so im not very sure when they would let him out or nominated for an oscar when he would be cured. Cynthia is up for an Academy Award for her portrayal of slave turned abolitionist harriet the bbcs china correspondent, tubman. Shes also been nominated for best original song, robin brant gave us which shell perform an update earlier today. At the ceremony on sunday. He says chinas state media is now sophie long has been reporting that the chinese catching up with her. Fear is your enemy. Government has said that whoa, easy now. That the coronavirus was not initially taken as seriously im going to be free or die. Harriet tells the inspirational as it should have been. Story of a womans escape from slavery, and transformation what we are seeing is an admission into an iconic amerian by chinas president s and a small freedom fighter. Would you like to pick a new name group of senior politicians that to mark your freedom . Someone, somewhere didnt handle the harriet tubman. Early days very well. I think what they are doing is pointing the she was a small, petite woman, finger at wuhan authorities and five foot nothing with very little other in the process who already to work with and in a time that was dangerous for her, but she still made the choice, admitted that they didnt take it seriously enough, and we have more the decision, to run the 100 miles details emerging over the past few to freedom and then come back again. When trouble comes. Days where they knew there was something very serious on their she helped free hundreds of others and became one hands but there wasnt the of americas greatest heroes, disclosure, the reporting to more yet this is the first time her story has been told in this way. Senior political authorities higher up, so on the one hand, the president here and those around him youll be ready. Are saying they have been her humanity, the love that she had, shortcomings. This is a major test the love that she was given, for the country, it is the most the heartbreak that she experienced, important task at hand, but i think to make her real, that was what they are doing is pointing the finger at the wuhan authorities. Really interesting to me. That was what drew me in the first round in the contest to choose a democratic candidate and i wanted her legacy to continue. To challenge donald trump in novembers us president ial election has ended in you are the only person of colour confusion and chaos. To be nominated in all four results from the Iowa Caucuses have been delayed for hours after an app of the acting categories. Yeah. Designed to collate them failed. How does that feel in 2020 . When officials tried bittersweet. To phone in the figures, i want it to serve as an example the lines became jammed. As to why we need to look at how traditionally, a good performance wejudge these films, in the state often helps a candidate to win his partys nomination. And i want to make sure that it doesnt look like this every single time. I think there are people who also for more on this i am joined by our correspondent chris buckler, deserve to be a part of this and weve just got to figure out whos at senator elizabeth how that happens. Hopefully this year will be a turning point for everyone warrens campaign rally. Because we are talking about it out loud and hopefully now we can try this is a downer at the start of the and make some changes. Do you think it will . I hope so, i hope so, because we cant keep doing this campaign. These are a political and noticing it and doing nothing so maybe now we start event, a real time to showcase the doing something about it. Front runners in the battle to stand up, take my people with me. Become a president ial candidate, but it has turned out to be a disaster this is quite for the democrats this year. That is a time for Cynthia Erivo. Simply because of these she is notjust nominated for best actress but also technological problems that meant best original song for stand up, that all of the votes in these which she co wrote and will perform hundreds of different places could at the oscars ceremony. Not be collated and put together to make the final figures, and that has i can feel it in my bones. Proved to be a real problem, because are you looking 999 proved to be a real problem, because egg as you can imagine, all of those forward to sunday night . Yeah, just because who gets to do their first oscars with two nominations . Contenders, bernie sanders, Elizabeth Warren etc, theyve all been stood about waiting for results before they can go on stage to try it doesnt happen often. And the best thing about being and claim victory, but they ended up nominated for an oscar . To be experiencing a dream come true going on the stage and doing that in real time, thats crazy. A nyway eve n for me, you couldnt have told me going on the stage and doing that anyway even though they simply dont know what the results are, and they when i was in drama school this wont know for hours to come. As it was going to happen. Is, the democrats are really trying i had no idea. To go back and do an Old Fashioned this is like ten years from then. Paper trail together each of the if you had told me this results and make sure they are was a snapshot of my life, right. That is very important now. I would have been like, they recognise they have to have thats hilarious, yeah, thanks, sure, but here we are. Integrity in this result. Bernie sanders, he seems to think he has done pretty well.

Bye for 2147483051 52 02,390 4294966103 13 29,430 now. Live daily with the consequences of unnecessary treatment from aine paterson. While you will have copies of the report, what id wanted to do, as of early done with a patient at even greater length, is to present the wider story of this enquiry. I will highlight some of the statistics, but more importantly tell the narrative and what we have learned. 211 patients and relatives gave us detailed accounts of the treatment of a 177 patients, 80 patients were from the nhs, 92 from the private sector, and five were nhs patients treated in a private hospital and funded by the nhs. Many had never spoken before beyond friends and family is about being a paterson patient. What they told us provided the basis for our questions for the court and witnesses, the institutions we saw, 115 corporate witnesses. Many of them should have kept patients safe but failed to do so. Each evidence session provided a piece of a large jigsaw, so. Each evidence session provided a piece of a largejigsaw, gradually, as we put those pieces together, a Bigger Picture emerge, and in that picture, the malpractice of ian paterson is plain to see, and frequently described in very painful detail. The overwhelming majority of patients were distressed to discover, usually at recall appointments, that they should not have had any surgery at all or that they had the wrong procedure, and many of them were lied to, deceived and exploited. They live with the devastating consequences of in patersons malpractice, and no enquiry is going to change that, but it has been determined that the wider story should be told and if possible, that Something Like this should never happen again to other patients. The enquiry report contains, at its heart, 87 pages of patient accounts. The suffering described, the callousness, the wickedness, the failure is on the pa rt wickedness, the failure is on the part of the individuals and institutions as well as paterson himself. These are vividly described in what patients told us. The scale of what happened, the length of time this malpractice went on, the terrible legacy for so many families. It is difficult to exaggerate the damage done, including to trust in medical organisations and clinicians. I was asked several times at the beginning why the enquiry was established and why the enquiry was established and why there was a need for a whole enquiry about a single rogue surgeon. Was it not disproportionate . But it isnt simply about a single individual, of course, although at the sheer number of patients ian paterson treated between 1998 and 2011 illustrates on its own just how many people are involved. In that period, paterson treated 6000 617 six out 6617 patients. 2399 had some sort of breast surgery. These are very large numbers. The figures so just how many operations and procedures undertaken were not breast surgery. This is reflected in the patient accounts. In the nhs at the heart of England Foundation trust as it then was, paterson had 4424 breast patients in the same period. This would be tragic enough of it was simply about a rogue surgeon, but it is much more than that. It is the story about a Health Care System that proved itself dysfunctional at almost every level when it came to keeping patients safe. Where those where the victims of patersons malpractice were let down time and time again. They were let down not just by a consultant who regularly performed unnecessary or inappropriate operations, but by an nhs trust and an independent Health Provider who failed to supervise him properly, and did not respond adequately to concerns about his practice. Opportunities to stop him we re practice. Opportunities to stop him were missed time after time. Once action was finally taken, the patients were let down again by wholly inadequate recall procedures in both the nhs and the private sector. Patients were unsupported when they learned they had been victims of serious malpractice, some complaining to regulators and were mostly treated with disdain. They we re mostly treated with disdain. They were let down further when it became clear that his malpractice was criminaland clear that his malpractice was criminal and his discretionary private practice was withdrawn. Could Something Like this happen ain . Could Something Like this happen again . What could be done to prevent that . We were told repeatedly by regulators and other witnesses that procedures had improved in recent yea rs procedures had improved in recent years and the system was more vigilant with appraisal and validation taking much more seriously, and this is true. In patersons years of practice, there are many regulations and guidelines in place which were disregarded or ignored and not simply by him. It was striking that while managers and regulators were confident that another paterson would be identified, the clinicians we consulted were not convinced. They thought it was a culture of avoidance and denial that was the problem, and were ever such a bad culture is found, patients may not be safe. My report sets out what can only be described as wilful blindness in relation to patersons behaviour, colleagues avoiding or working around him, with some who could have known and others who should have known, and if you must have known. At the very least, a great deal more curiosity was needed ona great deal more curiosity was needed on a broader sense of responsibility for Patient Safety in the wider Health System by clinicians and managers alike. Too much keeping their heads down. Some might have been inhibited from complaining because they had seen colleagues reads concern about paterson and getting nowhere. Raise concern. Some of his junior colleagues commented that the unusual character of his surgical practice compared to other breast surgeons was well known. A surprising degree, he was hiding in plain sight. Victims have rightly been our focus, but the impact of what happened has been enormous for many clinicians and others who might have worked for him or know him, and those who raise concerns were barely served by those to whom they reported, and have themselves been traumatised. Those who should have acted and now live with the guilt that they should have done so. Others are in a state of denial. Among patients and their families, there are many who believe that those who worked closely with paterson should answer for their actions. There has been an independent enquiry and not a tribunal or court, however, idid promise the patients that drew if during our work, we found health ca re during our work, we found Health Care Professionals or others that should be investigated by the disciplinary bodies or the police, i would report them to the relevant authorities. The work of subsequent investigation lies outside our terms of reference, but i have confidence it is being pursued. I have reported five Health Care Professionals to either the General Medical Council or to the nursing and midwifery council. In addition, i have referred one matter for investigation by the West Midlands police since it seems to me to go beyond professional misconduct alone. What else is to be done . There is no single action which would prevent malpractice or deception on its own, whether among clinicians or any other professionals, but it should be detected quickly, and our recommendations ta ken as detected quickly, and our recommendations taken as a whole are intended to enable that. Eight years pass between medical professionals first raising concerns about patterssens practice and his suspension. In that time, there was a series of reviews of what he did, and he was given the benefit of the doubt time and time again. This was undeserved, and the consequences for patients have been terrible. Patersons practice. I have made 18 recommendations to empower and protect patients, and even now, there are patients that have not been recalled, and there was treated in the private sector have not been given an ongoing care plan. We believe the recall of patients must believe the recall of patients must be completed and this failure remedied. There is not a single change to regulations or procedures which would prevent another paterson, but swift actions to suspend a doctor or other health ca re suspend a doctor or other Health Care Profession when the concerns and complaints are as serious as they were in this case is essential. It is bewildering that he continued to practice for so long. A single repository of information about co nsulta nts repository of information about consultants practising privileges and performance should be available to both managers in the Health Service and to the public. Many patients were told that ian paterson was the go to surgeon in this area, that they had no means of verifying that. But they had no means of verifying that. Many patients were told that their lives were in danger, and agreed to be operated on ina single danger, and agreed to be operated on in a single brief consolation. We believe that a pause is needed before they agree to be treated and senior clinicians agree. Patients treated in the private sector were left without cover and had to be fight to be compensated. They should be reformed as a matter of urgency, and a safety net introduced so that patients are not disadvantage when things go wrong. The regulatory system did not keep patients safe when paterson was practising. This needs to change to serve Patient Safety as its top priority. The range of recommendations is such that if implemented, they would serve to change the culture. It is not the case that there is a lack of recommendation guidance, there is plenty of it, but it must be adhered to, and if the private Health Care Sector does not implement recommendations which become part of nhs practice, we believe that nhs funded treatment in private hospitals should no longer be allowed. Patients should not be less safe in one part of the Health Care System safe in one part of the health care syste m tha n safe in one part of the Health Care System than they are in another. I realise this has been a lengthy presentation at the beginning of a press co nfe re nce , presentation at the beginning of a press conference, but there is much to say about what happened to patients over many years. They have shown enormous dignity and courage in speaking to us, and i paid tribute to them. Thank you all very much indeed. You pose the question your presentation. Journalists are now asking questions of the chair, the right reverend graham james, asking questions of the chair, the right reverend grahamjames, who announced an independent review into ian paterson. We will stay with coverage on the bbc news channel and we say goodbye to those on bbc two. What i think is necessary is for that to be detected very quickly, and eight years is not quick detection. It is possible, the conclusion is that we met said that where there is a culture of avoidance and denial, this is possible, because regulations and guidance are only effective if they are adhered to, and if they are ignored and if someone is lying and manipulating, of course consequences. We manipulating, of course consequences. We concentrate on empowering patients and making certain that there is a level Playing Field of Patient Safety between the private sector of the nhs. You say youd like to see the nhs. You say youd like to see the nhs bringing procedures back in house from the private sector. Can you say in simple terms what the private sector still needs to do now to get up to a standard you think is appropriate . What we say is if the recommendations we make are accepted in the nhs, they ought also to be accepted in the private sector, and the government simply cannot impose that on them. The private sector has got to accept that, but our view is that the nhs funded treatment in the private sector is very significant in the private sector, but those patients who were funded in the private sector should not be less safe, so we believe that where our recommendations in relation to Patient Safety are accepted in the nhs, they should equally be accepted in the private sector. First of all, can you tell us anything more dharmic apologies. Im from bbc midlands today. First of all, can i ask if you could give us more information about the case you referred to the West Midlands lease . Police. What i cannot do is name the individuals who are referred to in the report. We name those who have a legal or Statutory Authority for patients, for example chief executives of trust, board members, those who are in charge of regulatory bodies. We do not name any Health Care Professions dharmic professionals, and we believe that one of the things we are not is a court or a tribunal, so ive done the reporting to those who should undertake the investigation but i am not releasing names. We have had the bristol enquiry, the stafford enquiry, and this enquiry, and we are going to have problems in shrewsbury with babies not in the too distant future. What faith you have that this enquiry is going to make a difference given that those others didnt . Ive got faith that the government set up this enquiry, and the recommendations that we made our proportionate and achievable, and that they would in themselves change the culture, because our concentration is on empowering and protecting patients. Channel 4 news. Is it possible at this stage to come to a figure of those who received inappropriate treatment from ian paterson . Alli can do is give you the overall figure of those whom he treated. Of course, in many cases, they have not been recalled, or invent dharmic individually. All i can say is that hundreds of patients, many hundreds, have been compensated, but they are not the fill figure by any means, because we have seen patients who have not been recalled and have not been compensated, but we think that recalling should now be completed, and certainly in the private sector, but certainly there are those who have not been called by the nhs. I think almost certainly, that is the case. Indeed, we know that is the case in terms of the compensation figures. You said you are provided with a written statement to the enquiry which was a summary of his views. Ican give which was a summary of his views. I can give you a summary very quickly of a very lengthy statement, but what we did do is complete a process by which all those who were criticised in the enquiry, including ian paterson himself, received a list of those criticisms we were making so that they could answer them in advance and we could take that into account. Thats what we did for everybody. We did give ian paterson an opportunity if he wished, to meet me and other members of the enquiry team, and he declined to do so. From the independent. Can ijust ask you could you touch on your recommendations about what you describe is a gap in the liability and responsibility in relation to practising clinicians . It doesnt seem to make any firm proposals on that, and it seems a bit too vague to me. Could you say what you think should happen in relation to this and perhaps why didnt set out any specific requests on that . We do say, of course, and there are two things in this. We are suggesting a Single Source of information about co nsulta nts Single Source of information about consultants practising privileges and clinical performance that would be available to managers in the private sector as well as those in the nhs so thatjudgments about those with practising privileges can be informed, and we believe that a Single Source of information should be made available to the public so that patients themselves can have some sort of information about the effectiveness of a consultant. Frequently how they have performed an operation, because that is not available at the moment. The connection between responsibly and liability we speak about is when things go wrong in private health care. We believe that private health ca re care. We believe that private Health Care Providers should be both responsible and liable for their patients so that if something goes wrong, they should be appropriately compensated, and they should take responsibility for what happens in their hospitals. What weve not done is provide some preferred Legal Mechanism for achieving that because there are various ways in which that can be done, and what we dont want to happen, we want the government to accept that responsibility, which we think is urgent to establish, so that patients are properly protected in private health care, but we are content in private health care, but we are co nte nt for in private health care, but we are content for the government to work out a way to do that themselves. I know from some previous enquiries that the specificity of a recommendation can prevent it from being implement it because there may being implement it because there may be weaknesses in what has been presented, so we want the principle to be established. How it is then introduced is one for the government to determine. From the daily mirror. Just talking about this a single repository. Are you talking about a website i could go on and see if the consultant could be complained about . There is no information why there is no reason why this information should not be public. Its over a matter that relates to someone, but it could of course involve other individuals as well. We deliberately set it as a matter rather than an individual. Its related to potentially criminal practice, yes. From the daily mail. Did you broach Mark Goldberg at. . You will read in their the evidence that a number of people gave, some of whom were named, and mark goldwyn is one of them because he is a chief executive of the trust. Yes, we do, dont we . I am trying to remember. I have to be careful. In essence, what youre up boarding is some sort of cover up. youre up boarding is some sort of cover up. What you are reporting. What it has been is a process over the last eight years, given in a number of reviews and reports that took place on patersons practice. He was given the benefit of the doubt again and again and again, and that had a terrible consequences for patients, and what i think should happen is that where there is a danger to Patient Safety, patients should be given the benefit of the doubt rather than the consultant surgeon. What do you make of any patients that say the recommendations dont go farenough . That say the recommendations dont go far enough . A public enquiry would not be able to do anything different from those might take longer and with many lawyers involved, but we cannot influence our own personal recommendations, andi our own personal recommendations, and ijust our own personal recommendations, and i just came our own personal recommendations, and ijust came from a patient meeting where we had a great range of questions which was explained to them, and their response was positive to what we have attempted to achieve. Two things, it is setting out the whole story. It is then creating a range of recommendations that will empower and detect patients separately. We believe our range of recommendations is one that altogether can be implemented in such a way that it can begin to change the culture, because much of this is to do with culture rather than regulations or guidance not existing. There are just a few places where there is no guidance. For example, there is no National Guidance on how you should recall patients, which seem surprising, but in most cases, it was the avoidance of regulation guidance that created the problem in the first place. Itv news central. It has been difficult for victims and their families. What do you hope victims will draw from this enquiry . My victims will draw from this enquiry . My sense from this mornings session and from the many individual sessions that we had is that many of the victims felt unheard, and they also felt devalued by the fact that they had suffered from someones malpractice, and after that, they felt that wherever they looked, they we re felt that wherever they looked, they were let down again, and in many cases they had to fight for compensation when that was withdrawn because what they suffered from in the malpractice was so bad. What i hope the victims will at least feel is that their stories have been heard both individually and corporately, and just the stories themselves, the narratives themselves, the narratives themselves are powerful. But i also hope and believe that the recommendations that we make will ensure not just recommendations that we make will ensure notjust that recommendations that we make will ensure not just that the victims recommendations that we make will ensure notjust that the victims are heard, but that other patients will be better protected, and they will not be less well protected in the private Health Care Sector than they are in the nhs. This is the enquiry chair of the review into the practices of the rogue surgeon ian paterson. The right reverend graham james who has been saying that the publication of his report, in that patients have been let down by organisational failures. Patients have been let down by organisationalfailures. We patients have been let down by organisational failures. We will go back to that in a moment, but first, i want to bring you some breaking news on a new Foreign Office guidance on britons in china. They have extended the advice to all britons in china, saying they should leave if they can because of the corona Virus Outbreak in wuhan. The Foreign Office has just put out new updated information saying now the Foreign Office is advising against all but essential travel to the rest of mainland china, not including hong kong and macau. The british consulates general in lace are closed, so if youre in china and able to leave, you should do so. Elderly and those with pre existing medical conditions may be at heightened risk, so that is a significant change in the advice from the Foreign Office here about what brits in china should do. They say leave if you can. It comes as the death toll has now risen to 425, and the number of confirmed cases now standing at 20,000. We also have heard chinas leadership has admitted shortcomings and deficiencies in the response to the corona Virus Outbreak. Back to that briefing we were just hearing from the independent review of issues surrounding the practice of the rogue surgeon ian paterson. He was convicted of 20 counts of wounding patients in 2017 and was jailed for 20 years. More than. Of his patients were given evidence about his practices, botched breast surgeries that were prone to cancer returning to stop he was suspended in 2011. The enquiring chair the right reverend graham james said that patients were let down over many years by multiple individual and organisational failures. He many years by multiple individual and organisationalfailures. He said that patients have also been wholly let down by wholly inadequate recall procedures both in the nhs and the private sector, pointing out that many of his patients have yet to be recalled. He said that this is a story of a Health Care System which has proved itself dysfunctional at almost every level. This is when it came to keeping patients safe. We will have full reaction to that report coming up in the next half hour. Right now lets go to the weather. You have felt that cold air out there if you have been outside. It will be chilly. Frosts on the way. Tomorrow, it wont feel quite so cold. The strong wind that we have had around north sea coasts will be easing through this evening. The winds are expected to fall flat, this guys will clear in many areas, and mistand this guys will clear in many areas, and mist and fog forming in the countryside. These are the temperatures in the bigger towns and cities on wednesday. Very close to freezing. That means that outside of town, it will almost certainly be below zero. This is what the weather looks like on wednesday, a lot of fine weather. Hazy sunshine here and there. Slightly stronger breeze in there. Slightly stronger breeze in the south west of scotland with a few showers, but on a whole, for many of us, it is going to be a fine day with highs of around 8 degrees. A report into how breast surgeon ian paterson was able to carry out hundreds of unnecessary operations at hospitals in the West Midlands has said patients were let down by a Health System that was dysfunctional at every level. This would be tragic enough if it was simply about a rogue surgeon. But it is more than that. It is a story of a Health Care System which proved itself dysfunctional at almost every level when it comes to keeping patients safe. The Prime Minister sets out plans to ban the sale of new petrol, diesel, or hybrid cars by the year 2035 as he launches uks Climate Conference strategy alongside Sir David Attenborough. We have to deal with our co2 emissions, and that is why the uk is calling for us to get to net zero as soon as possible. For every country to announce a credible target to get there. That is what we want from glasgow. This comes as the former minister who was until last week president of cop26 attacks the governments climate approach. Hashem abedi the brother of the Manchester Arena bomber has gone on trial at the old bailey accused of 22 counts of murder. He denies all charges. Chinas top leadership admits shortcomings and deficiencies in the countrys response to the coronavirus outreak. Foreign Office Changes its advice and encourages people to the tyner if they can. With no result yet in the first vote to pick a democratic challenger to donald trump following Technology Issues at the count. Lets go back to our updated advice from the Foreign Office, that advice to leave china. The Foreign Office now saying that any britons in china that can leave, should. They have advised against all but essential travel to the whole of mainland china, not including hong kong. That expands from previous advice that was just confined to the Hubei Province where no where the outbreak began. They are saying if you into financial can leave you should do people with medical conditions and the elderly could be at heightened risk. The Chinese Government continues to impose restrictions on movement in china in response to the coronaVirus Outbreak. These include the closure of some provincial highways, tight control on entry and exit to townships and other restrictions on movement within some cities and municipalities. Some airlines including British Airways and Virgin Atlantic out suspending flights to and from china. Other commercial airlines are operating but it may be harder to access over the coming weeks. In other words, it might be very difficult to move around and to leave if they want, but the advice from the Foreign Office is now that any britons in china able to leave should do so. And we are hoping to speak shortly to our correspondence in shanghai for the latest on the outbreak. The latest figures are that they have now been 20,000 confirmed cases and the death toll has risen to 425. Lets go now to our correspondence in shanghai. This is a really significant change from the Foreign Office now, advising all britons in china to leave if they can. Yes, the british governmentjoining in the advice that came from the us several days ago. There was a change this morning in the advice that appeared on the Foreign Offices website. It was previously advising against all but essential travel to here. It said nobody should go to hubei where the outbreak centred. Now the advice for any britons in china is if they are able to do so, they should leave the country. This is not because we have seen a sudden increase in the severity of the outbreak of this virus, i think it is because the Foreign Office is about to try and lay on what it calls the last flight out of wuhan. The last flight we think went out yesterday. Over the last week so, the Foreign Office has removed nonessential staff from parts of its embassy in beijing, and consulates spread throughout the country. That means there are fewer people who can help britons here who are in distress. All of that has led to this change in advice, that any britons here who are able to leave china should do so. The official statistics know is that the death tour is 425 and that there are 20,000 confirmed cases. The top leadership in china has admitted shortcomings and deficiencies in the countrys response to the virus. As the confidence that there is now com plete the confidence that there is now complete transparency over what is going on . No is the short answer to that. The Chinese Government, lets look at the quarter figures that come out on the gdp, the size of chinas economy. They are marked sometimes outside of china for rigid the being consistent and hitting the forecast that the government makes itself. There is much doubt and some suspicion about the official government numbers that are being reported. It is all we have to rely on, but there is doubt, particularly evidence from wuhan, people going to seek treatment and not being able to get it. Returning to their homes. Elderly people reported dying in their homes. The short answer is that there are much doubt about the a ccu ra cy of that there are much doubt about the accuracy of these official numbers, partly because of what hearing from wuhan and partly because of the track record that the Chinese Government has. Lets get more on our top story that an independent inquiry into how a breast surgeon was able to carry out hundreds of unnecessary operations has said patients were let down by a Health System that was dysfunctional at every level. Ian paterson who worked in both nhs and private hospitals in the West Midlands exaggerated or invented cancer risks, and left many patients disfigured. The report says that opportunities to stop paterson were missed on many occasions and the government must urgently address gaps in responsibility between the nhs and the independent sector. Lets cross to birmingham and speak to our health editor, hugh pym. I have just been at a Briefing Held by the chair of the enquiry when he set out the summary of his findings. He said in the report that this was the story of a rogue sojourn which was tragic enough in itself. But it was tragic enough in itself. But it was much more than that. Rogue surgeon. It was a case of letting down cases. I have beenjoined by two people today. First of all, a lawyer for the patients. Just say what your position actually is, having heard the report. |j what your position actually is, having heard the report. I am encouraged by the report, but what is important is that the recommendations are fully implemented. We want to make sure that everybody using the Health Care Sector i protected. It is for the government to decide how these are implemented. It is really important for these to be implemented. I am also people have been reported to regulatory bodies and to the police. People who allowed these things to happen will be held accountable. Only when these people have been held accountable is when these things. Full does the school fire enough . Im happy that this recommendation has been made. We have been told about people who have been involved. There have been some issues in terms of proceeds of crime that havent been addressed. There are still some issues that have to be addressed. But it is a good starting point subject to the recommendations that are being implemented. Even with all the regulations that we have got, after the suspension of ian paterson, the enquiry said there needs to be more cooperation to stop this from happening again. They seem to be a lack of sharing and continuity between organisations. People carrying out inquiries for doing so and isolation. That cannot continue. There was a wilful blindness that was by managers who may be situation to occur. It was an absolute tragedy. We are all going to be patients who will need care at some stage, so it is in all of our interests that these recommendations are implemented. You are a former patient of ian paterson. How do you feel . Im very pleased about it. As long as the points are implemented, it isa long as the points are implemented, it is a step in the right direction. He went through a previous review, and then the trial, giving the evidence that she went through there. You have been briefed on this report. How does it feel with where we have got to now . Do you feel that everything that could have possibly be loaned from ian paterson and yourself can. . With a bit of luck, things will be implemented and put in place, especially in the private sector where patients were not protected at all. So, hopefully, things will be put in place. Do think the nhs has learned lessons . Because i think you were referred through the nhs. I was referred to the nhs, but mr patterson site of more or less coerced us by telling me that my operations were needed. In actual fact, as i find out many years later, i didnt have cancer at all. And one point that comes across from the report is that the nhs and the private hospital concerned didnt do much to recall patients and brief them on what had been happening . There was no briefing whatsoever. I eventually got a re call whatsoever. I eventually got a recall letter into thousand and 14. My operations were in 2006. I understand there are still patients who have not had the recall letter. Any sense, there is still more to follow through from this. We have heard of the report to the West Midlands police and the coroner as well. How do you see it developing from there . Sign or if the coroner finds that there were unlawful killing, they will perhaps decide that further charges need to be brought against ian paterson in relation to those deaths. What about the accountability of the system to fully loa n lessons . The accountability of the system to fully loan lessons . I am not convinced at all at this moment because we have learned that spire have had to do a recall of another surgeon there. Another surgeon has been carrying out unnecessary operations, and apparently a third as well. They havent been effective and they need to do more. In that case, the doctor was suspended very quickly and are still practising in another part of the nhs. What i dont understand is why he was not picked up earlier. If these systems we re picked up earlier. If these systems were working correctly, they should have realised that operations that we re have realised that operations that were not needed were being carried out. Need Multidisciplinary Team meetings. Needed to control a man that was billy and totally manipulative. This report is about a private sector as a whole. They do need to be procedures in place in all private hospitals to come up to the standard of nhs. All private hospitals to come up to the standard of nhs. Absolutely. It is not limited to one private health care provider. Doctors are given practising privileges and they seem to wash their hands of any responsibility to them. Only when it affects them financially either going to take proper action. Do you feel, having been through what you have gone through and all these reviews, there is a sense of at least something that you feel provides some form of reassurance that everything is being looked into . It is reassuring that things are going forward, and hopefully put in place as i said before. Is that he sends at the meeting of lawyers and former patients this morning . Yes, it was. Thank you very much indeed for talking to us. We will be covering this extensively throughout the day. Much more coverage coming up. Just to go back to the news about the updated Foreign Office advice to britons in china. The Foreign Office saying that all britons in china who turn the should the youth, with the coronaVirus Outbreak ongoing. The Foreign Office is estimating that around 30,000 britons in china, whether they are travelling or living there is unclear in terms of the breakdowns of those figures. Just under 30,000 british nationals estimated to be in china. A statement through from the foreign secretary is saying that the safety a nd foreign secretary is saying that the safety and security of the british people will always be a priority. As such, we advise british nationals to leave can stomach china is the can to limit their exposure to the virus. If there are british nationals in hubei who wish to be evacuated, we will continue to work around the clock to facilitate this. Now time for business update. Flying is not the enemy in the fight against Climate Change according to the chief executive of heathrow airport. John holland kaye told the bbc that the answer was not to stop people flying, but to decarbonise aviation. The uks Aviation Industry is promising to reduce its net Carbon Emissions to zero by 2050. Youtubes ad sales in the last three months of last year rose 31 to £3. 6bn. Parent Company Alphabet that also owns google says overall revenues were up 17 year on year, but that marks the slowest rate in more than two years. Britains supermarkets struggled to boost sales last month, according to the latest figures from kantar. Sales rose by 0. 3 across the sector in the three months to january, with the big four all facing declines. Tesco, sainsbury, asda and morrisons all lost market share. Lets stay with that retail theme. John lewis welcomes a new boss today. Dame sharon white the former head of ofcom starts work as chair at the retailer which is facing a tough time. Just a month ago the retailer it may not be able to pay a staff bonus this year as profits have tumbled. Remember, it pays that as a proportion of its profits to staff who are partners in the foam, not direct employees. She has quite a big job on her hands and no retail background. What do john big job on her hands and no retail background. What dojohn lewis cn her . This is a pivotaltime background. What dojohn lewis cn her . This is a pivotal time for the organisation. She doesnt have Retail Experience but she does have experience as a customer champion and experience in moving fast and developing organisations to get speed and efficiency. Those are skills thatjohn lewis we need right now. It has been a challenging few yea rs now. It has been a challenging few years where it hasnt had that Alliance Share of the Department Store market. It has had very big challenges with the Consumer Movement in terms of the new brands that they are buying, online shopping, obviously consumers as well just choosing shopping, obviously consumers as welljust choosing to buy more experiences than immaterial goods and it has not really moved with the times. She will have to deal with the management shake up when she moves into thatjob. As long as she has got Retail Experience within the partners working with her on that strategy,. What we partners working with her on that strategy,. What we have got here somebody who is prepared to take action, and that is what is needed. It is tough out there. We look at what has happened to house of fraser and debenhams. In many cases, it is that show brimming effect. People will go intojohn that show brimming effect. People will go into john lewis, that show brimming effect. People will go intojohn lewis, touch the stuff, see whether they like it and then buy it on line showing rooming effect. Online really we are much savvier now. We look at prices. One of the big issues that john lewis has is the never knowingly undersold promise that they have got. Any time there is a lower price, they have to meet it and match it. But they are trying to create an upmarket Department Store atmosphere. Therefore, these two ideas together are quite clash. That strategically are something they need to look at. This is going to happen unless somebody really says on the spot, i want to buy this here now because he experiences good or because i dont know where else to find this product. How does john lewis become something that is the must go to place . How do they get people through the door to buy, because i imagine it is faced with high rents and high rates. Big Department Stores on high streets are facing battles. We have seen in primary and Luxury Retail like selfridges, they are very experiential. People talk aboutjohn lewis is having east small story network, but it. They have many flies and many brands, and i think they have got quite a challenge there. Maybe this is going to be something that changes in its involvement. Particularly online, it has got to have more to offer to it than the fact that you can buy it there. A lot of brands thatjohn lewis offer, a lot are available from retailers online. John lewis have really got to have a compelling offer beyond just a price match. Have really got to have a compelling offer beyond just a price matchm lot of work to do on the to do list for her as she begins work today. Sharon white takes over as chair of john lewis. We will look at the numbers for you. Sainsburys is up three quarters. Remember, this is google, or alphabet, the Parent Company, we will talk about this a little later. 50 of the uks10 year olds owned a smartphone in 2019, according to a report on childrens media habits by media regulator ofcom. The amount of young phone owners doubled between the ages of nine and 10, which ofcom dubbed the age of digital independence. Popular apps include things like youtube. More children watch video on demand than watch live broadcast tv. Also whatsapp for messaging and tik tok. One concern from the report is that half of 12 15 year olds say they have seen something hateful about a particular group of people in the last year. ani and almost half of parents of 5 15 year olds are concerned about their children seeing content which might encourage them to self harm. But what do these findings really tell us . Ealier we spoke to our senior tech reporter zoe kleinman, who talked us through the pros and cons of childrens technology use. What were really seeing is a massive uptake in device ownership 50 today of children by the age of ten have a smartphone. We are also seeing it start younger. 24 of three to four year olds have a tablet, an ipad or some sort of other tablet. 15 of those are taking the device to bed with them. So we are seeing a much younger age of engagement, and increased engagement as well. Another thing that struck me is that young children, we are talking sort of three to eight years old, are watching over eight hours of youtube videos a week. They are watching much more video on demand. 25 of children dont watch any form of Live Television at all. They are only watching catch up subscription things, like netflix. So that is a massive change in really quite a short period of time. So this is about the habits. Obviously, there are downsides that concern parents about their kids on social media. What about upsides as well . What does this report indicate . One really positive thing that has come out of this, i think, is what what ofcom is calling the greta effect. You can see why. This is an increase in young people taking up social causes, supporting charity, carrying out socialactivism, really, online. They say one in ten have signed a petition. Lots more, 1 in 18, ithink, are sharing facebook posts and comments about social issues. It is called the greta effect after greta thunberg, the teenager and environmental activist who is inspiring young people to get online and to find their voice. Does ofcom produce these stats and just present them as is, or is there a sort of motivation in terms of suggesting things that could be changed . How will these figures be used in the end . It is used to create a snapshot, an annual generational snapshot of young people. But of course, there are lots of other things coming out of it. They also speak to parents and found an increase in parental concerns, especially around their children seeing content around self harm online. But they are also finding that there any more conversations going on, both within families and also in schools and both children and their parents reaching out to find out how to stay safe online and how to have a positive experience. And they did find that many more parents felt that the benefits of the internet were worth it for the risks that they might encounter. Sophie raworth will be here shortly with the bbc news at one.
